In case you are wondering about the not quite so brightly coloured eggs: I was naive enough to believe that if you set out to buy egg dye the Saturday before Easter, the supermarket would actually still have some in stock. Surprise, surprise, everything sold out. So I had to resort to curcuma and beetroot...

I don't think I've seen a white egg round here for years! We don't have the same traditions for painting eggs at Easter here, which is a shame as they look so cheery. Here it's all about selling chocolate eggs, which is its own kind of cheery :)
